I remember when in modern comics they changed his hair color to the Tiger Force version. The justification? He was infected by a zombie virus created by Cobra, but his immune system was so strong that it defeated the infection, leaving him just with white hairs. Kinda badass if you ask me.
I’d love to see a classified full wave overview/ play day. Great video too robo if target was in Canada I’d try to hunt down all the target exclusives but watching others review and mess around with them will do for now😂
Classified is really hitting it's stride. Head scuplts and details are on point. The rising prices, unfortunately are forcing me to pick and choose instead of going all in.
A sad truth. Personally i am going to skip the regular release of Outback because i like the Tiger Force version a little more. Just two years ago i would have bought both.
Have always been a casual viewer of this line but man it really is super tempting to start getting a few (that Kamakura is really neat). I'm a sucker for posing options.
Majority of my (non-robot) collection consist of 3.75" Marvel Universe and G.I. Joe and I am not looking into building a separate 6-inch scale collection. I have few 6-inch Superheroes and I'll just get Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Robo, the white spots on the back of the knee are where the pieces of the leg are separated from the sprue. Mine has them as well, but are hidden by the green paint app. So, I'd guess yours were a bit more of a rough cut from the sprue and somehow caught a bit of white paint app from being raised more than they should have been. Either that or the green paint app rubbed off due to being more raised and you're seeing base coat/primer.
I like the older version looking outback. A seasoned soldier he has been thru a few battles in different terrains. Hasbro pulled it off work this character & Spirit. Looking forward for the crimson Guards unboxing. I'm on the fence if to army build The vipers , the bats & now the crimson Guards is on scene. Decisions Decisions But the Vipers might be my choice since they have the 3 pack just wish that all where vipers in package & not one as a squad leader that one they should have sold separate because army building from that pack to many leaders kind it defeats the purpose of army building from that box set.
Love how Robo goes into the minute details of the differences between the sculpts in the pants of Outback and Duke to persuade us that it's a different sculpt, but then completely missed that one is pinless and the other has pins. Love ya Uncle Robo!😅
Puts me in mind of a buffer Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Superb looking figure. I like the look of this and the forthcoming red-headed version. I'd justify both as being father and son. The head sculpt is superb!
Man you sir need to do more G.I. Joe Classified videos! I definitely enjoy all the vids but I honestly have to say G.i. Joe's are my favorite!!! I definitely enjoy the channel, thanks for what yall do!!!
I think part of his charm as an older fig is the connection to adult collectors. It’s a nice nod, even if unintentional, to peeps who keep carrying the toy torch.
Great to see a new G.I.Joe video. I really like this Outback as well with his hairy arms and grey hair on top. Very expressive face too with just the right accessories. Going to be hard to find this for an affordable price down in Oz though...I will be searching for it though. Thanks for the review and looking for to more new Joe.
Outback was always on my team as a kid. Beachhead, Low-light, and Outback. They were just the best of the best. I too religiously let Target know yes I want it. This figure is awesome. I want Hasbro to knuckle down and create that accessories pack. I’m it will be black and brown fists, black and brown right handed trigger finger hands with up and down hinge. Among other things. Sarge spooled me with the hand options. Tiger Force Outback, Spirit, BAT, Sarge, and Storm Shadow top five…ole Serpentor may challenge but he needs an air chariot to do so.
Target canceled my pre-order, after many emails asking me if I still wanted it. To which I said "yes!" Must have missed one and next thing I know canceled....hopefully I'll see one on the shelf or just wait for the other "younger" version.
Target canceled this figure on me three different times, and now I haven’t been able to reorder it! Hoping it comes back, cause otherwise he’d be the only figure I don’t have.
I bought mine online on Monday 12/12/22, got it Saturday 12/17/22. Not bad, Target has it available online, not a pre-order, I just casually bought it thinking I wouldn’t see it for months. I pick and choose the ones in this line anyway. I don’t buy everything and the variants.
I was thinking about the Outback figure and how the torso could be good for a Jay Garrick Flash or Alan Scott Green Lantern custom. It is a bit buff but it works and I prefer the articulation style from the Classified Series compared to other Hasbro lines.
It's weird, it used to be I'd see Robo review a Joe figure months before I ever get it, but now I'm the one who got this months ago. Then again, the original was a European exclusive, so I guess it makes sense. For me I don't need the other version after getting this. Not just the hair, but even the sculpt and paint of the skin looks aged. On top of the old man Rambo vibe, the semi-vibrant shirt also gives me slight Rick Flag vibes. My only problem is the looseness of the backpack and the awkwardness of the torso straps, but it's still my favorite Joe so far.
I've gotten the "globe" icon on a few of my Joes. It's a graphical representation of a "404 icon not found". Best I could glean is his first icon should be level 3 Environmental Specialist. As for the sculpt, I can't be the only person who sees older Harrison Ford. The lopsided mouth, the crooked nose, the "leave me alone" scowl. I've seen a few in the wilds of Canada, keep thinking I might pick one up for a Thracken Sal-Solo custom
Mine just showed up yesterday! I'm from Detroit, so I had to get this version. Yep, in my collection, he is a Tiger baseball fan. (I Pre-orderd the regular version too, for a custom that I am planning.)
I am not a GI Joe collector but seeing the photos you did damn near makes me want to start collecting them. Now how to explain that decision to the wife....
Love your channel especially the go joe classified videos they have really helped me on decisions on which ones to get first. Are you going to be making more gi joe classified videos?
Target canceled my outback order after months of delaying it. That being what it is. I hope to be able to find one. It's one of the few classified figs that would work great in the Action Force line.
I missed out on preorder, and I'm hoping beyond hope to find this guy in store or back online. Looks like an amazing figure. But I've got custom ideas for him.
I got in on the pre-order day one last year. But, I still got wrecked by Target's delay email cancellation warpath they went on last month! I hope Hasbro Pulse does another run themselves so I can maybe actually get this Outback. Hope they do all Tiger Force and Python Patrol figs once more through Pulse, as well.
Soon as you said “theirs sport teams that are Orange with Tigers” that makes me realize that makes total sense for head cannon Outback is just a Bengals fan and had a spare shirt in his rucksack😂
Thank you!! The Outback file card doesn't have all of its graphics on the web site. If you're going to repurpose your custom OG Outback. May I suggest Snow Job in regular clothes.
I have zero clue who this guy is, which is probably blasphemy because I'm Australian, but that head sculpt is beautiful! Old Man Arrow to go with Old Man Hawkeye?
Great video as always! One thing though, I see reviewers often say they need to oil the joints of figures, maybe you could do a short on what oil to use, how much, how to apply etc.?
Out of the many tiger force figures to come i like this Outback moreso than the original one that will come soon. Dig the design really, can't say the same for the backpack but still good.
Ever since the keldar & Kronos was evil 2 pack, target has improved keeping the exclusive available on release. Iwas àble to find; “in stock on line”. But I did have hiim pre’ canceled on me
Mine got canceled just before release, and that’s when I knew I was done with this whole line. I wish I could unload my entire collection in a single lot, tbh.
Missed the pre-order and Target promptly canceled my order since I’ve been confirming since August. It’s such a cool figure, I hope I find it the wild somewhere or they put him back online, I’m not paying those Ebay prices.
I’ve got this figure and anytime i mess with him it feels like he’s Snake from metal gear solid. I ended up taking snake eyes shemagh and putting it on outback. It fits really well and just blends nicely with his pants. Unfortunately it covers up the tiger emblem but it is what it is.
I told myself I would not be getting Tiger Force or Python Patrol repaints but this might be the one exception. Just because the original TF Outback is too expensive. At least I could say I own ONE.
The head sculpt can definitely be used as a Big Boss just need to add the eye patch and repaint the hair Brown. Also figure is great really have to pick up some G.I. Joe figures soon
Mine came in but at my Aunts and will wait to get as a Christmas gift. Really dig his mug a lot. See some ideas with that. Integration idea for one "Best you can do?"
I bought mine online on Monday 12/12/22, got it Saturday 12/17/22. Not bad, Target has it available online, not a pre-order, I just casually bought it thinking I wouldn’t see it for months. I pick and choose the ones in this line anyway. I don’t buy everything and the variants.
I can't stand that shirt with the tiger on it, but I love everything else about it. Will definitely just get the main line version coming in a few months.
It looks like a great. I preordered it and then it went on backorder and then got cancelled by Target. Now I'm wondering what the chances are that more will be released.
i'm so upset target up and cancelled my preorder on me because this is the look I wanted. I managed to snag a preorder for young outback but if I ever find this one before that then that's cancelled.
3:54 I just noticed that he’s got the pinless parts on him. 5:17 the paint on the face just has the idea that he’s gotten some facial burns. Outback has DEFINITELY SEEN SOME SHIZ!!
@@TheFwoosh planning on getting the regular version? It’d be cool to see it for outback’s flashbacks in skits. I really liked the intro skit you did it’s a nice nod for continuity. 👍
Ngl, I think I've finally found the perfect arms and legs for my old man Rex custom. Hopefully I can just jam them into the Clone body without too much drermmeling or anything.
The sculpt is awesome and the accessories are nice, but the plastic used for the rifle is softer than previous material used for weapons and it's very difficult to put it in the figures hand without warming up the hand first.
He is sharp! After all of my preorders are out of the way and even after the holidays I will look into getting him! So far I only have the twins lady jaye ( first one ) flint movie scarlet and Baroness also have the first release scarlet and updated one ( where was my mind lol!😂 But yeah I have a lot to collect so yeah he is a good one!✌️
Man he looks great...but I don't like this one as much as the regular one. I wish the regular outback came with the Tigerforce headsculpt as an alternate....yea, I'll probably buy this if I can find it too 👀.
*sigh* seeing these reviews makes me want to pay scalper prices for him. I missed out on the pre-order phase for this version. I have the regular version on pre-order. I am not a fan of "Tiger Force" so I don't have a particular desire to have this one...but...he's growing on me....
I wanted it too but for some f'ed up reason. Target kept taking money every month when I thought they had it. Never saw my money returned to my account and when I check to see my bank account a week later to see that Target pending was gone. My money was not returned. So I canceled it. I'm not pre-ordering from them again.
